This seems to have escaped notice here so far, but it seems everyone’s least favorite cos-playing Cabinet member, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, was rushed by ambulance to a local hospital this evening due to an “allergic reaction.” From the AP:
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday after experiencing an allergic reaction, her spokeswoman said. “She is alert and recovering,” said the statement from department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, who said the hospital treatment was out of an “abundance of caution.” Noem, 53, heads a sprawling department with roughly 260,000 employees handling immigration enforcement, airport security, disaster response and other matters. She has been among the more high-profile members of President Donald Trump's cabinet, traveling extensively and maintaining a robust social media presence. She is often the public face of his mass deportation effort, frequently goes out on immigration enforcement operations and has appeared in commercials encouraging immigrants in the country illegally to voluntarily leave the U.S.
No word on what exactly might have caused the “allergic reaction” — but if I had to guess, could it be one too many Botox injections? Normally I try not to indulge in this type of wild speculation or unsourced rumors and innuendo, but in her case I’ll make an exception since she has more than earned the opprobrium. From my computer’s Copilot:
From women.com:
Kristi Noem has undergone a shocking face transformation. In fact, it's hard to recognize her from her former years, and the most intense form of change came when she hitched her cart to Donald Trump's wagon. A glance at before-and-after photos would lead one to reasonably assume the Air Force auxiliary officer become a victim Mar-A-Lago face, the plastic surgery trend that's sweeping Trump's nearest and dearest. Though Noem has not openly admitted to any procedures, her face appears to be a classic example of the key attributes of this particular aesthetic: full lips, mega lashes, taught skin, a full blowout, and work that's unapologetically obvious. In other words, it's a plastic surgery look that's largely detached from reality. And unfortunately for Noem — whether intentional or not — her facial transformation fits this description pretty perfectly. … Kristi Noem changed things up when she saw an opportunity to become part of Donald Trump's inner circle. The New York Times called her transformation the "Trumpification of Kristi Noem," noting that the former governor got her teeth perfected to make herself look like a more compelling choice for Trump. There's no doubt that both the women and men in Trump's inner circle take plastic surgery to the extreme, all in an effort to give off an artificially perfected look. It's all about how they'll present in front of the camera, in front of Trump, and in front of his supporters.
Enjoy the schadenfreude — karma really can be a bitch!
